I was seized with love for Cleopatra and unduly delighted with the beauty of her body beyond what is fitting for the male mind. I was softened by her blandishments and nevertheless relaxed for her the restraints of marriage. The result was that she, despis-ing me and my fear of the law, stained herself with adultery, and by no means moder-ately.” Rather, after her woman’s mind had set aside its modesty, to such an extent did she burst forth into shameful actions, that, in one night, having donned her cloak to go out, she then slept with 106 men, a prostitute in the brothel. As she confessed, she had been so aroused in the tumescence of her rigid organ that she even left the brothel still unsatisfied. Although this was done most covertly, it did not escape my notice.” Ich kann mich noch gut an unsere Begegnung in Rom erinnern, Kleopatra. Du warst noch ein kleines Mädchen, aber hast mich schon damals mit diesen großen, wissbegierigen Augen angeschaut."

Her wit and intelligence were often downplayed or overshadowed entirely by her sexiness in accounts written by her Roman critics.

29. Beware the Ides of March

The era of the Pharaohs was almost incomprehensibly long—the first dynasty of Egypt began in 3100 BC—over 5,000 years ago. The Great Pyramids at Giza were constructed between 2550 to 2490 BC. This means that Cleopatra lived closer to the time of the Moon landing than she did to the construction of the pyramids. Another factor is Cleopatra’s ethnicity; as I discuss in this article from January 2020, Cleopatra was a queen of mostly Greek ancestry who most likely saw herself as culturally Greek and who ruled over the land of Egypt. The ancient Romans perceived both Greece and Egypt as exotic, “eastern” lands. Thus, in their eyes, she was thoroughly “eastern.” In his novel Cleopatra (1889), H. Rider Haggard was more direct in his description of the queen, who is a “Thing of Flame”: Then I looked upon…that face which seduced Caesar….I looked upon the flawless Grecian features, the rounded chin, the full, rich lips, the chiselled nostrils, and the ears fashioned like delicate shells. I saw the forehead, low, broad, and lovely, the crisped, dark hair falling in heavy waves that sparkled in the sun, the arched eyebrows, and the long, bent lashes. There before me was the grandeur of her Imperial shape. There burnt the wonderful eyes, hued like the Cyprian violet.

Similarly, in Mime VI, a comedic poem written by the obscure Alexandrian Greek poet Herodas in the third century BCE that has survived only in fragments, a woman named Metro asks another woman where she managed to acquire a red leather dildo. This poem has received some degree of notoriety due the fact that the poem was first published in 1891, based on a papyrus that had recently been discovered in Egypt.In 50 BC, only a year after she ascended to the throne, Cleopatra became embroiled in a dispute between Roman troops and a Syrian governor. When Cleopatra sided with the Syrians, the Romans retaliated by helping her husband-brother Ptolemy XIII steal the throne from her. Classical scholars at the time desperately sought to argue that the dildo explicitly referenced in the text was really some sort of article of clothing, such as maybe a hat or a shoe or a bodice. It was only in the early twentieth century that scholars came to accept that the women in the poem were indeed talking about a sex toy.

Reigned: She assumed control of Egypt in 51 BC after the death of her father, Ptolemy XII, intially co-ruling with her brother XIII. Her reign ended with her death in 30 BC. a Resistance pilot who knows how to pilot and cook... a sandwich! (fortunately his girlfriend likes to cook for both) Perhaps the most notorious and persistent piece of popular Cleopatra mythology is the story that she would let any man who wanted to have sex with her do so for one night under the condition that he would be executed the next morning. This apocryphal legend originates from a very late anonymous ancient source: the De viris illustribus 86.2, which most likely dates to around the early fourth century CE, over three hundred years after Cleopatra’s historic death, and is not attested in any earlier source. This eventually led to him convincing the Roman Empire to declare war on the wed couple, ultimately defeating them. Antony and Cleopatra's lives then ended tragically at their own hands. It's generally agreed upon that Cleopatra was responsible for his death, and that she poisoned him —which seemed like something of a habit for her. For those keeping tally, she had a hand in the deaths of three of her siblings.In turbulent times, three Romans find their way to one another. Language: English Words: 47,047 Chapters: 8/?
